This is another addition to the fleet of Pan Americans. This replica is of a cargo version of the B707-320. There is a large, well marked forward cargo door. The fuselage doors are marked with a small window visible in the doors. Tires and landing gear look great. Warning lights (very tiny) are visible. Seams are near flawless. Gemini taking the replicating skills to the max!
